Vagabond’s Caravan

Butterfly or bee? Or hybrid of both? I have no idea what this insect is, it has the wings of a butterfly but the body of a bee, what the? *confused*

Took these using CX dad’s Canon EOS 350D & 55-200mm lens, in front of SA (students affairs) office in MD, hehe. =D Most of these photos are slightly out of focus because the DoF (Depth of field @ The width of the region which is in focus) is very narrow @ 200mm and it’s a flying insect. And since it’s not a macro lens, I can’t focus close enough, most of these photos are severely cropped, not really usable (for print), sigh. =(

Bonus shots:

Here’s another unknown bug I found in my garden. It’s quite big, around the size of my thumb, and I really like the way it fly, way cool man~ =D But a bit scary when I was taking photos of it, as you can see (from second shot), it was charging at me, so yea *phew*. =D
